Python is a programming language that helps integrate systems. Node.js is an environment. It allows javascript to run on the server side instead of the browser. Node.js is based on the Chrome’s V8 engine that runs on Google Chrome.
Benefits of Node.js
- Node.js is a fast server-side solution. Node.js is faster compared to Python and is preferred for real-time applications like chat apps or applications with 3D graphics which are memory intensive.
- Node.js is unique and advanced as it allows usage of JavaScript both on the backend as well as the front end.
- Node.js is a single-threaded solution. Additional node.js processes can be created with node clusters and workers to make it scalable.
Limitations of Node.js:
- Relatively less efficient when used with CPU intensive operations.
- NPM modules lack proper documentation.

Limitations of Python:
- It is not available on mobile and browsers and does not work well in them and complementing it with other languages increases maintenance.
- Domain-specific Languages (DSLs) are not supported in Python that could have helped in optimizing UI development to make it faster.
